Starless Umbra

Join Amalia as she searches for her friend in a land afflicted by a noxious fog. The deeper she ventures, the further she unravels a force that threatens far more than just one life. Real-time combat - Start battles as you approach enemies on the field in a real-time battle system. No random encounters, no turns. - Choose from skills that encourage rapid resource management and clever positioning. HP replenishes after battle if your party is in good spirits. - Manipulate enemy focus (aggro), encourage teammates, and master skill rotations in a system inspired by MMORPGs and action RPGs. - Play with friends (couch co-op) for even more chaos. Plenty of character customization - Select abilities and enhance them with augments, discoverable gems that change how skills behave. - Learn passive abilities from equipment, such as combat-start buffs or bonuses when allies fall. - Combine skills to create devastating combos. A focus on fun - 15–25 hour story focused on grounded relationships in a deadly fog-plagued world. - Gameplay variety: minigames, puzzles, and quests; performance affects difficulty. - Encouraged item usage; refill empty bottles in towns instead of hoarding. This project was built over 20 years through multiple engines, story rewrites, and with the help of a patient, supportive community. - zexyu - Story, engineering, graphics - SaKo - Character portraits - puking rabbit - Monster sprites - Pipasdefranilla - Character sprites - Brandon McKagan - Music
